Trend

Xcel Energy is awarded a trend score of +. If the company were reassessed in the near future, its score would likely improve. It achieved a 10% drop in emissions in 2019, and it is rolling out one of the largest wind programmes in the US, which will lead to a 70% increase in wind power by 2022. Xcel Energy prides itself on its climate leadership in the US. If it intends to achieve its target of zero carbon by 2050, it will need to step up the resources invested in R&D.
